Jolly Boys Team

When the Jolly Boys Outing was filmed back in 1989 it later in the year went out to 20.1 million viewers on 25th December. It soon became one of the nations favorite episodes. It was also a pivotal episode as it led to the revealing of Rodneys true father and established a link for Rock and Chips.

Adrian Pegg was part of the production team during the 1989 Only Fools and Horses classic. Adrian recently gave us some unseen photos and some facts. Here are a few below and we will put the rest on the web site shortly.

Here is one fact you may of not known along with some photos from his behind the scenes collection…

In The Jolly Boys Outing, their is a scene where Del and Rodney arrive at the scary Bed and Breakfast. This was one of the first times a location scene in a sitcom was partly shot on video. Portable video cameras had only just come into use and the rest was shot on 16mm film. It was still experimental and video needs far less light than the film boys were used to, so you might just be able to see the difference. Adrian Pegg
